question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they consider there to be sufficient resources to tackle online child abuse.
tabling member printed	Lord Taylor of Warwick
uin	HL6150
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2014 answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>The Child Exploitation and Online Protection (CEOP) Command of the National <br />Crime Agency (NCA) is the UK's national law enforcement agency committed to <br />tackling the sexual abuse of children in both the online and offline <br />environments - with the principal aim of identifying, locating and safeguarding <br />children and young people from harm. <br /><br />Government funding for the CEOP Command of the NCA was £6.381million in <br />2012/13. The work of the CEOP Command in tackling the proliferation of indecent images of <br />children is of utmost importance and that is why we have protected its budget. <br /><br />In addition, every officer in the NCA, which has over 4000 people, has a legal <br />duty to safeguard children and promote child welfare. The NCA's UK and global <br />reach is extensive, with officers stationed in over 40 countries overseas to <br />ensure our international partners are working alongside us to tackle the abuse <br />of children. <br /><br />Police forces also investigate online child abuse, safeguard the victims and <br />prosecute the perpetrators. The resources allocated to this work in each force <br />is a matter for the Chief Constable and their Police and Crime Commissioner.</p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Lord Taylor of Holbeach question first answered 26/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 3787 label Biography information for Lord Taylor of Holbeach
